Wells

Can I draw some water babe,
from your well?
Can I draw some water baby,
'cause mine has failed.
The bucket won't come up,
no matter how hard I crank.
The bucket won't come up,
I think it sank.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you...
holding on,
(''holding on'')
to you...
(''holding on, holding on'')
Holding on to you.
How has your garden grown?
Is there fruit on your trees?
Do you need a laborer to pull up those weeds?
Oh I am so lonely babe,
in my house on the hill.
Oh I am so lonely baby,
the silence kills.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you,
holding on, to you...
Yeah, I wanna hold you, squeeze you
love you, need you, feel you
touch you, reel you, save you,
greet you, greet you, see you.
Everywhere I turn, I need to know
Are you going away, and be there when I get home?
I'm crossing the bridge 1,000 miles along.
Yes It's worth the wait, and nights alone
So far from home, and girl you wrong,
and changed 'em up.
I love it all, and what you were and who you are,
and who you'll be, only time will tell
but your wishin' well is callin' me.
This wouldn't ease my pain or hurt, and only you can quench my thirst.
So I'm walkin', I'm workin', to bring it home,
come on girl keep holdin' on.
I wish that I could sit,
in your garden again.
And watch the stars at night,
from your bed.
I walk the road between your house and mine;
I hope the bridge hasn't collapsed.
I hope the man at the gate will help me through,
unless he's holding on to you...
holding on,
(''holding on, holding on'')
to you...
(''holding on, holding on, come on'')
Holding on to you.
